Etta Jeannine “Jean” Peek, born June 22nd 1931, passed away Thursday August 15 at the age of 82. She was a loving wife and mother. Ms. Jean stood firmly as family patriarch providing loving direction and insight to children, grandchildren and friends. Never in doubt and with a mind as sharp as a tack; Ms. Jean welcomed a feisty debate on any topic. All of us will miss her wit and never ending insights.

Ms. Jean was preceded in death by her loving husband of 62 years, Jesse “Frank” Peek. Jean and Frank met while working in the Piggly Wiggly store in Tuscaloosa in a post war romance. After marriage moved to California and where they lead a wonderful life until retiring in Alabama in 1979.
